    Even though he was heavier, Roy's speed was unnatural at 175.

    About the same speed but Roy could throw really fast combos while Floyd couldn`t.

    Lol :lol::lol: “Unnatural” definitely is the right term to use in this instance.

    But yeah… jones was faster than floyd even in his late 30’s!
